“Garth’s coming!” the plain people cried,
“For five nights!” that cowboy replied,
But it wasn’t to be,
He could only have three,
And that was how the music died.

At the end of the games in Brazil,
There’s a big pair of boots left to fill,
We need a new bloke,
Who can say “Okey Doke”,
To the panel, just like good old Bill.

The people in charge of dance say,
They’re sorry, but there is no way,
You can put on the ritz,
In a blizzard of glitz,
If it looks even just a bit gay.

Four days in and we still haven’t heard,
From Enda or Joan the first word,
But make no remark,
Because Brooks and Croke Park,
Distract us, that’s sad and absurd.

A whole country stood, cried and swore,
That there wouldn’t be any more,
Of this national shame,
In the beautiful game,
But the Germans continued to score.

The papers are carrying claims,
That unpopular minister James,
Is climbing the walls,
Making last minute calls,
As his job starts to go down in flames.

Let’s round up our brightest and best,
There’s a crisis that must be addressed,
Let’s rewrite the law,
So Brooks won’t withdraw,
And leave half the country depressed.

[New Labour leader Joan Burton and Eamon Gilmore and new deputy leader Alan Kelly with Joan Burton at the Mansion House this afternoon]
The comrades have called upon Joan,
To rise up and sit on the throne,
She’ll have a quick scuffle,
Over the reshuffle,
And then she can reap what she’s sown.

G’day.
Andy Dawson tweetz:
“Let’s take a moment to think about poor Colin Grove, his career now in tatters…”
The city is trying to deprive,
Some boggers of their chance to jive,
But the man in the hat,
Just won’t stand for that,
He insists that he’ll play the whole five.
